From the files of LOL: Deadline.com reports that Disney wants Chris Pratt to play Indiana Jones in the studio's franchise reboot. A representative for Pratt told HuffPost Entertainment there was nothing to report regarding the rumor; requests made to Disney for comment have not been returned at this time.
